I feel like I've been watching Irwin Corey forever. I saw him in the 1950s, and I thought he was old then.

It was well after college that I learned about depression. I got my first job for Jack Paar. I realized I was sleeping 14 hours a day and just living for the Paar show.

I had to fight the intellectual label when I started in television, because, first of all, it's not going to help you commercially, and also, it wasn't particularly true of me. I mean, if anybody thought I was an intellectual, they probably had never really seen one.

I'll be happy if I can just stay out of Nebraska.

The information superhighway? That sounds like a place that's long and boring and kills 50,000 people a year.

When I'm doing an appearance somewhere and taking questions from the audience, I can always count on: 'Tell about the guy who died on your show!'

Every student of comedy should see Dame Edna at least twice.
